If interested, please email Nick at NUGaming, an independent GW stockist, and ask what he has left of his limited stock.
His email is nick.umanski@nugaming.com
If you do make an order, please do the honourable thing and tell him that David Candlish referred you, david.candlish@convergys.com. He sponsored my Blood Bowl tournament last year and I want him to know it was worth it

Remember the Army cards in EpicV2 aka "Space Marine" ?
I thought they were great for rapidly building your armies, quick reference etc.
Some enterprising person has made some up for Ultramarines in EA. You'll find them in the EA Vault.
Now who is going to do all the others?..... (bags not!)

Chernobyl is working on or has completed most of the Imperial Guard and Ork cards. The Vault is pretty slow at putting his finished cards up (and the links to everything except the first three Marine cards don't work for me), but he can be contacted through the official Fanatic E:A forums and he'll cheerfully send you out a set of whatever he has done.

We're "stuck in the '90s" and still use the SM1 templating system for the most part. It does require a little xeroxing to make up new counters though ...

Thanks for the Info V/C!
I think he's done a cracking job.
Now I want to see some Chaos and Tau ones....

Hi!
L4, I think Epic A's format is similar to those SM1 templates. They have basic building blocks that fill an organizational framework. Pretty similar.

I've noticed that and you are generally correct. Of course SM1 have not 'Nids, Tau, etc., so those new templates/lists hold particular interest to me !

Hello all,
After looking again at my project for an armoured regiment I took army builder and decided to list them to see how it would look. The result came around the 6k-7k points mark. Not bad I thought it might be a little bit too much for a start, though, so I decided to settle for a 3k list to start planning my display army (sadly, no epic players around here, and I don't know if I will find any in Brighton next year)
Anyway, I wanted to ask you if you think this would be a suitable armoured company (AC) formation:
- Mechanized infantry company + Hydra 450 pts
- Tank company (10 leman russ tanks) 650
- Tank company (10 leman russ tanks) 650
- Artillery Battery (3 basilisks) 250
- Artillery Battery (3 basilisks) 250
- AA Battery (3 Hydras) 150
- 3 Shadowsword Superheavy tanks 500
(NOTE: dunno if this last one is correct, but army builder didn't change its value over the baneblades....)
TOTAL: 2900. I don't know if I really lack something. Likely infantry since I only have one company (12 stands + HQ) of those dudes. I have 100 points for upgrades in case you think I need something. The list is open to any criticism. I simple selected what I thought "felt right" but have no prior knowledge of E:A rules (reading them soon, promise! ) so I might be way out of my track here. I simple selected what "felt" right to me to be there.
What do you think? Is this worth as a "half regiment" force?
Health and sixes,
Xavi

It's pretty good but you could probably use more small formations. Two Tanks companies are by no means unheard of but you could use more activations instead. Armies with many activations will quickly be able to outmanouver you so you need cheap formations to counter this. Rough Riders, Sentinels or stormtroopers are cheap ways of achieving this but try out a few games to see if you really need them. Two Russ comapnies can still take and deal out a considerable ammount of punishment.
I say try it out a couple of times and see how it plays. I'd expand the force with more infantry and Storm troopers in Valkyries with Vulture support. Sentinels are surprisingly effective beecause of their scout ability which enables them to bog down enemy formations. At 100 points they are alllways worth their money.
Ogryns in Chimeras can also be really tough buggers. Place them in support of the Shadowswords and watch them cut through the enemy if he gets too close to your precious warengines.
Cheers!

So, for what you are saying I was right in the fact that I have too few infantry. As I said I have not pl?ayed or really read the E:A rules yet, so it was more a "background organization".
The activation thingy... it is the fact that you need to activate each formation in turn adn give them the same orders, right? I read something like that a while ago...
Let's see if the following is better: basically I added an infantry company and broke down one of the leman russ companies, placing them in support of the infantry and other elements of the army.
Mechanized infantry company.
- 1 Hydra AA (50)
- 3 Griffon Battery (100)
- 3 Leman russ tanks (200) ? ? Total: 750
Mechanized infantry company.
- 1 Hydra AA (50)
- 3 Leman russ tanks (200) ? ? Total: 650
Tank company. 650 pts
Mixed Superheavy tank company (1 baneblade, 2 shadowswords) 500 pts
- Ogryns in chimeras (the "bodyguards" of the tanks) 100 ? ?TOTAL: 600 pts
Artillery battery (3 basilisks) 250 pts
Sentinel Squadron (4 sentinels) 100 pts
Now I might be running low on artillery and AA  ?lol. I suppose that 3 grigffons are not as good as 3 basilisks. Seems like a larger force, though. Basically is swaping one of the tank companies for a mechanized infantry company and adding more widespread tank support.
Sounds better? It starts to look like a mechanized formation more than an armoured formation 
EDIT: reread your post. Seems that you are suggesting that I should drop one of the main companies, leaving only one tank and one infantry companies (and also the superheavies) while investing the rest in support formations. In that case I supopose this other formation would be better:
OPTION C:
A- Mechanized company (650)
- 1 Hydra
- 3 leman russ
B- Tank company (700)
- Hydra
C- Superheavy Tank company (2 shadowswords + 1 baneblade) (600)
- Ogryns in chimeras
D- Support artillery (3 basilisks) (250)
E- Flak Battery (3 hydras) (150)
F- Storm trooper platoon in Valkyries (350)
G- Sentinels (100)
H- Sentinels (100)
I- Sentinels (100)
TOTAL: 9 formations, 72 units
Better? Actually I would have liked to take storm troopers in regular chimera transpots, since it would fit my theme better, but hey, I am unsure that this can be done....
Health and sixes,
Xavi

I think Option C for the most part works for me. 3 Sentinals dets. may be too much. However you do have a respectable Tank Heavy Bn Task Force.

Maybe drop two of the Sentinel Squadrons and replace them with either rough riders or a flight of Vultures. At the same points cost as two Sentinel Formations you can also get a battery of deathstrikes which would be essential if you plan to play against warengine heavy opponents.
The flak battery is nice but maybe split it up and place embedded in more formations.
...Oh, and instead of the Sentinels you could also try a Lunar Class Cruiser.
Just suggestions but like I said: try it out a few times and see what works for you. The organisational theme of the army might be a bit lost if you try to add too much tactical flexibility to it. The army should be fun and characterfull -not a meta-gamer army!
Cheers!
